you are the blossom beneath my skin
soothing every ache with color & calm
the voice in my head, telling me
to breathe, when the sky is falling
a whisper of wind against my cheek
with the gentleness of the kiss
I am missing, while I wonder
if you are missing me, too
and I pray, to be forever walking
in this secret garden of you
